DIY Man

 


This is for a friend's birthday.  He is retired but makes furniture in his spare time.  
I thought the stamp with the man with a crown and maths was suitable so I stamped onto the plaide, then again onto white card which is then coloured with Copics, fussy cut and layered.   I covered the crown with Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes, and added black Enamel Accents to hang the tools on.  The sentiment is heat embossed.  The stamps & dies are unbranded.  I used a woodgrain paper for the board to hang his tools on - just as they are in his workshop.  The plaid paper is digi print and has been sitting in my bitz box for ages.
